New observations on hydrogen bonding in ice by density functional theory simulations

In this paper, we report on a series of computational simulations on hydrogen bonding in two ice phases （Ih and Ic） using CASTEP with PW91 and RPBE exchange-correlation based on ab initio density functional theory. The strength of the H-bond is correlated with intramolecular O-H stretching, and the energy splitting exists for both the H-bond and covalent O-H stretching. By analyzing the dispersion relationship of to（q）, we observe the separation of the longitudinal optic （LO） mode from transverse optic （TO） mode at the gamma point, seemingly interpreting the controversial two H-bond peaks in the vibrational spectrum of ice recorded by inelastic incoherent neutron scattering experiments. The test of ambient environment on phonon density of sates （PDOS） shows that the relaxed tetrahedral structure is the most stable structural configuration for water clusters.

Detection of water–ice phase transition based on Raman spectrum

A simplified dimensionless method was constructed to characterize the phase transition between water and ice based on Raman spectrum (RS) without contact testing samples. This method reduces the requirement of the spectrum intensity, simplifies the complex mathematical analysis and improves the resolution of detection which only depends on the relative intensity of RS. The current work establishes an important tool for accurate characterization of RS so that it could better interpret various phase transition mechanisms of water and aqueous solutions.

利用拉曼光谱分析冰Ih相的表面薄层的氢键结构

水是生活中一种最基本且最重要的物质,由于它的一些奇特性质和反常物性,得到了广泛的研究,而拉曼光谱是研究水分子结构的一种非常合适的方法,它通过获得分子的振动和转动信息来理解分子结构和分子间的相互作用。在常压下测量了-20～-190 ℃温度范围内冰Ih相的表面薄层的拉曼光谱,实验结果发现随温度降低,冰Ih相的O∶H范德瓦尔斯键向高波数方向移动,而O-H极性共价键向低波数方向移动;且拉曼频移与温度呈线性关系,通过对不同振动模式的斜率进行比较,判断其键长的伸缩变化关系,从而证明了冰Ih相密度随温度的减小而增大,采用氢键理论(结构)给予了解释。同时,发现在-150 ℃时,O-H键反对称伸缩振动模式和O∶H键振动模式的拉曼峰强发生了突变,这表明冰Ih相发生了相变--冰Ⅺ相(冰Ih的质子有序相)。     

Effect of lanthanum substitution on the Raman spectra of barium titanate thin films

Thin films of Ba_1−xLa_xTiO₃ on platinum substrates were synthesized using the sol–gel method for x values of 0.0, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.10, and the effect of trivalent La³⁺ substitution on the structural and dielectric properties was studied. Using X‐ray diffraction, structural analysis of these compositions revealed a slight increase in the tetragonal distortion of the unit cell with increase in La content. Accordingly, an increase in the tetragonal to cubic transition temperature T_T/C was detected by temperature‐dependent Raman spectroscopy in the range of 70–500 K. Unlike the results from Raman scattering for the La‐doped BaTiO₃ films, the dielectric measurements showed broad and diffused dielectric maxima, making the estimation of the transition temperature merely qualitative.

Raman spectroscopy of sol–gel derived titanium oxide thin films

Raman spectra of TiO₂ films prepared via the sol–gel process were studied by UV and visible Raman spectroscopy. The evolution of the phases of TiO₂ films during annealing was investigated, and the relative intensities of the Raman bands excited with 325 nm were found to be distinct from those of the bands excited with 514 nm. The transmittance and FTIR spectra of the films annealed at different temperatures were characterized. The crystallization process of the powders and thin films treated by different annealing methods were also studied with Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the change in the relative intensities is caused by the resonance Raman effect. The anatase to rutile transition of the powder occurs at 700 °C, while that of the thin film occurs at 800 °C. The analysis of Raman band shape (peak position and full width at half‐maximum) after conventional furnace annealing and rapid thermal annealing indicates the influence of the non‐stoichiometry and phonon confinement effect.

DFT‐assisted interpretation of the Raman spectra of hydrogen‐ordered ice XV

The vibrational spectra of the condensed phases of water often show broad and strongly overlapping spectral features which can make spectroscopic interpretations and peak assignments difficult. The Raman spectra of hydrogen‐ordered H₂O and D₂O ice XV are reported here, and it is shown that the spectra can be fully interpreted in terms of assigning normal modes to the various spectral features by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The calculated lattice‐vibration spectrum of the experimental antiferroelectric structure is in good agreement with the experimental data whereas the spectrum of a ferroelectric Cc structure, which computational studies have suggested as the crystal structure of ice XV, differs substantially. Moreover, the calculated coupled O–H stretch spectrum also seems in better agreement with the experiment than the calculated spectrum for the Cc structure. Both the hydrogen bonds as well as the covalent bonds appear to be stronger in hydrogen‐ordered ice XV than in the hydrogen‐disordered counterpart ice VI. A new type of stretching mode is identified, and it is speculated that this kind of mode might be relevant for other condensed water phases as well. Furthermore, the ice XV spectra are compared to the spectra of ice VIII which is the only other high‐pressure phase of ice for which detailed spectroscopic assignments have been made so far. In summary, we have established a link between crystallographic data and spectroscopic information in the case of ice XV by using DFT‐calculated spectra. Such correlations may eventually help interpreting the vibrational spectra of more structurally‐disordered aqueous systems. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The rotational spectra of the 79, 69, and 7 vibrational states of nitric acid

The rotational spectra of the first three vibrational states of nitric acid above 1000 cm⁻¹, 7¹9¹, 6¹9¹, and 7², have been measured and analyzed. The 7² state, along with the previously published 7¹ state, show the rotational and centrifugal distortional constants have a near linear dependence on the υ₇ vibrational quantum number. Large changes for several centrifugal distortion constants of the υ₇ = n series of states are attributed to a c-type Coriolis resonance manifold between the ν₇ and ν₆ vibrational modes and the Hamiltonian reduction and representation used to fit the spectra. The 7¹9¹ and 6¹9¹ states have torsional splittings of 12.361(8) and 22.47(1) MHz, respectively. These splittings are large compared to 2.340(8) MHz of the 9¹ state and can be explained by a ∼1-2% mixing through anharmonic Fermi resonances with the 9³ state, which has a large torsional splitting of ∼1760 MHz. The millimeter/submillimeter-wave spectrum of each state was fit separately to the experimental uncertainty of the measurements. The resultant rotational constants, distortional constants and inertial defects agree well with DFT calculations.     

Theoretical study on the photoelectric emission spectra of a field-assisted Au-BaO thin film

The dependence of the spectral distribution of photoelectron emission from gold nano-particles embedded in BaO semiconductor thin film on applied voltage and surface plasmon resonance of gold nano-particles is predicted and investigated theoretically. The photoelectron emission response curves to light wavelength between 0.2 and are given. The dependence of the wavelength threshold on the size of gold nano-particles and external field strength is also shown. The reason that the theoretical photoelectron emission spectra is in the visible region is explained. The probabilities increased for photoexcited electrons to overcome the barrier and escape from the surface are discussed. This could be of importance in designing field-assisted thin film and finding their optimum operation conditions.

Aperture based Raman spectroscopy on SiGe film structures with high spatial resolution

We have investigated silicon–germanium (SiGe) line structures employing metallic apertures in combination with Raman spectroscopy to obtain high‐spatial strain resolution below the diffraction limit. The apertures were cut into specifically shaped electrochemically etched tungsten tips, which were adjusted within the Raman laser beam on the sample surface by a tuning fork atomic force microscope. With this setup, line structures on patterned SiGe films with a center‐to‐center distance down to 200 nm were resolved in the Raman scans, evidently indicating a resolution clearly below the far‐field Raman resolution of about 600 nm for the used instrument. This setup allows improved local strain analysis by Raman spectroscopy and shows potential for further near‐field Raman applications. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Raman scattering studies of the magnetic ordering in hexagonal HoMnO3 thin films

We present the results of the temperature dependence of the Raman spectra of hexagonal HoMnO₃ thin films in the 13–300 K temperature range. The films were grown on Pt(111)//Al₂O₃ (0001) substrates using the laser ablation method. In the HoMnO₃ thin films, we initially observedseveral broad Raman peaks at ∼510, 760, 955, 1120, and 1410 cm⁻¹. These broad Raman peaks display an anomalous behavior near the magnetic transition temperature, and the intensity difference of the Raman spectra at different temperatures shows several pairs of negative and positive peaks as the temperature is lowered below the Néel temperature. Our analyses indicate that all the broad peaks are correlated with magnetic ordering, and we have assigned the origin of all the broad peaks. Purely on the basis of the Raman analysis, we have deduced the Néel temperature and the spin exchange integrals of HoMnO₃ thin films. We also investigated the effects of the growth condition on the strongest broad peak at ∼760 cm⁻¹, which is related with pure magnetic ordering. This result indicates that the oxygen defect in the HoMnO₃ sample has negligible effect on magnetic ordering. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fermi-type resonance in quasi-linear fluorescence excitation spectra of triazatetrabenzoporphine

The effect of deuteration of the central NH groups on the quasi-linear fluorescence and fluorescence excitation (with selective monitoring) spectra for triazatetrabenzoporphine, a close analog of phthalocyanine, has been investigated at 77K in n-nonane. Vibrational analysis of the spectra was carried out. The normal mode frequencies were determined for the electronic states S₀ (from fluorescence spectra) and S₁ (for fluorescence excitation spectra). It has been established that N-deuteration lowers the frequency of a vibration involving inplane NH bending down to ∼990 cm⁻¹ and leads to resonant vibrational-electronic (vibronic) interaction of Fermi-type resonance between the zero level of the S₂ state and the vibronic level of the S₁ state upon excitation of this mode. Thereby the possibility of the “vibronic analog of Fermi resonance” (a term coined by G. Herzberg) occurring in a simple (two-component) variant of phthalocyanine-type molecules has been shown.

二元溶液中基频拉曼散射系数随浓度变化对费米共振的影响

在二硫化碳(CS₂)和苯(C₆H₆)的二元溶液中,随着相对体积浓度而变化,C₆H₆的基频ν_１(992 cm-1) 的拉曼散射系数随浓度减小而增加,而CS₂的基频ν₁(656 cm-1)的拉曼散射系数则随浓度增加而增加。文章测量了这二元溶液相对不同体积浓度的拉曼光谱。结果表明,尽管CS₂和C₆H₆的基频ν₁的强度都随着浓度变化而发生较大变化,但C₆H₆的基频ν₁对其参与的ν₁+ν₆～ν₈费米共振几乎没有影响,而CS₂的基频ν₁强度的变化不仅对ν₁～2ν₂费米共振产生较大影响,还使基频ν₂发生变化。文章给出了实验结果,并用Bertran费米共振理论和群论给予了解释。     

Optical properties of -doped semiconductors: Plasmon–phonon coupling and Raman spectra

Collective excitations and their coupling to optical phonons have been studied for a two-dimensional electron gas in -doped polar semiconductors within the random-phase approximation. The inelastic light scattering spectrum due to the coupled plasmon–phonon modes are calculated for the multisubband two-dimensional electron systems. Our calculation shows that, due to the high electron density in these systems, both intrasubband and intersubband plasmons are strongly coupled to the optical-phonons. On the other hand, due to the high impurity concentration, level broadening modifies the inelastic light scattering spectrum significantly.     

Raman spectroscopy as a probe of molecular order,orientation, and stacking of fluorinated copper‐phthalocyanine (F16CuPc) thin films

We report Raman scattering measurements on azimuthally ordered thin films of F₁₆CuPc, prepared by organic molecular beam deposition on A‐plane sapphire substrates. The observed peak frequencies have been compared both to the results of a model calculation for the vibrational modes of the free molecule and to those reported by other authors in related materials. This analysis provides a plausible identification of the modes responsible for the strongest spectral features. Detailed evaluation of the spectra reveals that some observed modes, which correspond to vibrations of the macrocycle inner ring, largely retain the intramolecular character and their polarisation properties can be used to study the orientation and stacking configuration of the molecules. We provide structural parameters deduced either in molecular or crystal symmetry considering the simpler possibilities, i.e. a single column molecular stacking and a herringbone‐like structure. The results suggest that the thicker and most ordered film is structurally close to the recently reported crystal organisation of bulk ribbon samples of this compound. The crystalline quality of the ordered films is mainly reflected in some other Raman peaks which are related to the motion of peripheral atoms and dominate the high wavenumber part of the spectra. These modes are affected by intermolecular interactions inducing Davydov splittings that are unequivocally identified by the observed Raman selection rules. The performed analysis also provides quantitative estimates of the degree of in‐plane ordering. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optical properties of thin metallic film/dielectric superlattices constrained by the size effect

The dispersion relation of the 1D Bloch wave vector accompanied with an incident transverse electromagnetic wave on thin metallic film/dielectric superlattices is crucial to its optical properties. The interference of excited longitudinal plasmons between neighbouring metallic films induces a collective oscillation of the whole superlattice causing coupled plasmon polariton waves. A calculation of the optical reflectance manipulated by the size effect on the dielectric constant induces more allowable bands at < as the specularity parameters p and q decrease, meanwhile the cut-off frequency for band rejection also shows a blue shift.
